Freedom to farm "every herb bearing seed"
is the first test of religious freedom.

Release Reverend Roger Christie Immediately : A Formal, Public, International Exercise of "Civilian Demand" for the Rule of Law to be Respected

This document is intended to serve the public interest through the formal, public, international exercise of "civilian demand" that the First Amendment of our Constitutions, both State and Federal, be obeyed, due process followed, and our "freedom of religion" respected in Hawaii. As the newly elected Governor of Hawaii, Mr. Abercrombie now has the responsibility of defending and enforcing the First Amendment of Constitutions, both State and Federal, which secure Roger Christie's "freedom of religion" as they secure all of our "god-given, inalienable, natural rights."

Reverend Roger Christie's imprisonment is, in essence, an attack on our national security by unobjective, chemically-addicted courts. A counter-productive "drug war" has been waged against Cannabis agriculture because hemp farming competes with the chemical industrial addiction imposed on our society for the past seventy-three years. The world's most useful agricultural resource has been outlawed because dominant economic interests cannot compete with Cannabis in a free market.

The contemporary crucifixion of Roger Christie in Hawaii is as blatant and obvious a proof of corporate corruption as the crimes of pollution being committed against the Natural Order. From Gulf war atrocities to "drug war" atrocities; from the Exxon Valdez to BP's Gulf of Mexico disaster; from hydraulic "fracking" to the production of radioactive waste, America's addictions to "Gaiacidal" chemicals and processes is precipitating evermore blatant extremes of self-destructive behavior.

Reverend Christie has been disingenuously accused as a "danger to his community" when it is common knowledge that he has been a loved and widely respected peacemaker in his Big Island community for more than a quarter of a Century. It is criminal that he is being denied bail simply because he has been maliciously characterized by an employee of an unobjective court.

Until Reverend Christie is released, a part of every American remains in prison. The magnitude of injustice in Roger Christie's being denied due process of law, is measured in the incalculable sacrifice of American patriots who fought to secure the legacy of freedom being violated and disrespected. In truth, there is no true freedom anywhere as long as a man of peace is wrongly imprisoned.

Please show consideration in the form of compassion, leniency, mercy, clemency and active, proportionate appreciation for the good work done by Roger Christie in mitigating the hard drug epidemic in Hawaii. It is well-known that a shortage of 'pakalolo' in Hawaii translates into increased hard drug and alcohol abuse, gang violence, crime...

I trust that Mr. Abercrombie's will recognize the opportunity for true leadership, presented by the polar shifts in medical science, public perceptions and political realities surrounding Cannabis ecology, agriculture, manufacture and trade. As Governor of a State that is being "broiled" by UV-B radiation, I would think that you of all people would recognize the critical "strategic" significance of Cannabis, recognized by seven American Presidents as being "of first necessity."

A timely response to this "Civilian Demand" is requested, as every day that Roger Christie is robbed of in prison is precious time that is gone forever.

Mahalo! for your vision of a "New Day" for Hawaii. I trust it is one where the bright sunshine of truth and clear rivers of freedom will begin to flow under your leadership and courage.

Cannabis vs. Climate Change

Cannabis is essential not illegal.

A call to Freedom...that hasn't happened yet...

Hemp harvesting in France

Here the spacing between hemp stalks is even more apparent. Inches apart, not feet.

Can you tell the difference...?

Marijuana plants are multi-branched, planted six feet apart.

"Swiss mix" marijuana

This is a field of marijuana. Note these are multi-branched, exclusively female, grown with plenty of room between each plant.

Harvesting Hemp, Noirmoutier, France 2003

This is "industrial hemp" grown in vast swaths, planted inches apart, pollen-producing males & seeded females mixed. Pollen from this field would make seeds in marijuana plants, rendering them much less salable on the black market. If the DEA really wanted to impact the marijuana trade they wouldn't be pulling up feral hemp in the midwest, they'd be encouraging American farmers to plant hemp, to naturally balance high- and low-THC producing strains of Cannabis.

The California Cannabis Ministry is meant to serve everyone, as an individual expression of our Article One, Bill of Rights, "First Freedom." The freedom of religion afforded by the United States Constitution secures our natural, god-given, self-evident rights that are also also guaranteed by several international human rights treaties.

"Freedom of religion is the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance. It is generally recognized to also include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion. Freedom of religion is considered by many in many nations and people to be a fundamental human right." -- Wikipedia

Anyone who has genuine appreciation for the Cannabis plant, for any or all of its many uses and benefits, is reminded that deep in our hearts, we are all our own ministers. I trust that others will be inspired by my example, but everyone makes their own choices. California Cannabis Ministry encourages everyone to start their own individual ministries. I believe it is spiritually and legally meaningful for each of us to openly claim our rightful place in the most ancient, truly global Cannabis culture, even if doing so is judged an act of "civil disobedience" by unobjective courts.
